Dear everyone,

I hope all is well with you. As you know already, Vania
(Administrator), Steven (Secretary-Treasurer), and I (Assistant
Administrator) are the acting officers who volunteered last year to
serve for the Korean Language Division until we hold the official
election this year. Since we cannot serve on the Nominating Committee
as current officers, we would like to ask for 3 volunteers step
forward and serve on the Nominating Committee for this year. As a
Nominating Committee member, you will have a chance to develop both
professional and personal connections, work with great people with
many talents & skills, get to know the KLD members on a personal
level, and get involved in a very important event for the future of
KLD, all without spending too much of your time.

Below are the FAQs concerning the nomination and election process.
(For detailed information, please refer to the KLD Bylaws & ATA
Division Election Guidelines posted on the KLD listserv.)

If you are interested, please contact me by 4/22/07. And if you have
any questions, please feel free to call/email me. I will be happy to
get back to you. (after 4/22/07)

Thank you so much for your interest and cooperation. I look forward
to hearing from you soon.


Best regards,


Jisu Kim
